One of the problems I have with wine tasting, and tasting food in general, is that I have a poor sense of smell, which equates to a very diminished palate. I do the whole ritual of taking a whiff of my wine before tasting, but honestly it does nothing for me; it's just a formality to look like I know what I'm doing! Then when I read the descriptions of the wine I am always perplexed by the comparisons that are made. For example, one wine I tasted in Temecula said it was supposed to have notes of fresh cut grass. Another was supposed to taste like worn leather. Aside from not knowing what these things smell like (let alone taste like), I always find these descriptions to be humorous. What's next, "this wine has notes of old, sweaty socks"? Well, suffice it to say, I will not be applying to become a master sommelier anytime soon!

DeleteLove the background for this photo shoot, so gorgeous! You look amazing and you look absolutely perfect against that backdrop...how did you ever guess? Love the pink shirt with the green skirt, perfect color combo! Hope you're having a lovely week! XO -Kim
ReplyDeleteHaha... I guess somehow I just have a way of picking an outfit that will go perfectly with the scenery! I hope you are also having a wonderful week Kim!
DeleteLove this look on you Katie especially the touch of the thin leopard print belt around the waist. And that shade of green is just so summery and fresh - the perfect choice for visiting a vineyard! I often laugh at some of the descriptions on the labels of wine bottles. We had one the other day that said hints of apricots. Well, if there were, I'd say the apricots weren't so much hints as completely hidden!

I definitely love to add a little leopard where I can for something different. I am glad I am not the only one who has a good laugh at the descriptions for wine! I think last week the New Yorker even published an article about that!
DeleteThanks for linking up with How I Style It! I love the mix of the leopard with your skirt! So fun and unexpected!
